A self-sovereign architecture for verifiable claims is one where the holder of a verifiable claim is in complete control of their identifier, where their verifiable claims are stored, and how they are used. There is currently no widely used self-sovereign, privacy-enhancing standard for expressing and transacting verifiable claims (aka: credentials, attestations) via the Web.
This specification describes a data model for a digital identity profile and a collection of digital entity credentials that assert verifiable claims about that identity profile. It also describes how to express that data model in JSON, JSON-LD, and WebIDL.
The Security vocabulary is used to enable Internet-based applications to encrypt, decrypt, and digitally sign information expressed as Linked Data. It also provides vocabulary terms for the creation and management of a decentralized Public Key Infrastructure via the Web.
